The sign has caused some worry among local residents, who feared it meant a business was about to pop up in the pristine park.

The installation is the work of Finnish artist Tea Makipaa, who spent two months in Esperance as part of an international social art project called Spaced 2.

Tea has since returned to Finland, but her sign will remain at Cape Le Grand until May 4.

Operations and communications manager at Spaced 2, Katherine Wilkinson, said Tea's work often looks at the disparity between the natural and financial worlds.

"It's working off some of Tea's research; she spent two months in Esperance basically investigating the relationship between the native fauna of the area and humans.

"One of the things she talks a lot about in her work is this idea that these native animals have very little say and are basically voiceless stakeholders of their own natural habitats. They have very little say in what happens to them.

"What she wanted to do was make this comment about the difference between native fauna and, say, the finance market."

Public wifi hotspots are not usually found in national parks and untouched wildernesses, but in chain cafes and offices in large cities.

"The finance and economic markets basically don't acknowledge our native animals and environment... she wanted to draw attention to this difference between the economic and finance markets which operate with the internet and our native fauna and this distance between them."

Making the community ask questions

"It's also two-fold in its meaning in that she wanted to express the problems that a lot of regional and remote communities have connecting in to the financial and economic markets because of their lack of internet access.

"A lot of the ideas behind the work that we do cause people to question; we like that the communities notice this and ask questions and they almost have to explore and research the meaning behind the work.

"And in that they sort of start this dialogue and conversation between the artist's work and bigger community issues like native fauna, the environment, finance and economics."
